Part Number 0260072 July 2008
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Minimum Safe Approach Distance section in Chapter 3Safety. Regard all conductors as energized. Allow for electrical wire sag and aerial platform sway. If the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor, the entire machine can become electrically charged. If that happens, remain on the machine and do not contact any other structure or object. This includes the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform. Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock hazard resulting in death or serious injury. If an aerial platform is in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground personnel in the vicinity to stay away. Their bodies can conduct electricity creating an electrical shock hazard resulting in death or serious injury. Do not approach or leave the aerial platform until the electricity has been turned off. Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial platform is in contact with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is an immediate danger of such contact. Personnel on or near an aerial platform must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

Chapter 3 Safety
Prestart Inspection
Perform a prestart inspection before each shift as described in Chapter 8. Do not use the aerial platform on the job unless you are trained and authorized to do so.
Work Place Inspection and Practices
Do not use the aerial platform as a ground connection when welding. The welding ground clamp must be attached to the same structure that is being welded. Electrical current ow can be very intense, causing serious internal damage to some components. Inspect the area before and during aerial platform use. The following are some potential hazards that may be in the work place: Debris Slopes Drop-offs or holes Bumps and oor obstructions Overhead obstructions Unauthorized persons High voltage conductors Wind and weather conditions Inadequate surface and support to withstand load forces applied by the aerial platform in all operating congurations
Pinch points may exist between moving components. Death or serious injury will result from becoming trapped between components, buildings, structures, or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the machine before moving the chassis, booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement to avoid contact with structures or other hazards. Always look in the direction of movement. Drive with care and at speeds compatible with the work place conditions. Use caution when driving over rough ground, on slopes, and when turning. Do not engage in any form of horseplay or permit riders any place other than in the platform. Secure all accessories, containers, tools, and other materials in the platform to prevent them from accidentally falling or being kicked off the platform. Remove all objects that do not belong in or on the aerial platform. Never steady the platform by positioning it against another platform.
ADanger
Before using the aerial platform in any hazardous (classified) location, make certain it is approved and of the type required by ANSI/NFPA 505 for use in that particular location. Know and understand the job site traffic-flow patterns and obey the flagmen, road signs, and signals. While operating the aerial platform, a good safety practice is to have qualified personnel in the immediate work area to: Help in case of an emergency Operate emergency controls as required Watch for loss of control by platform operator Warn the operator of any obstructions or hazards that may not be obvious to them Watch for soft terrain, sloping surfaces, drop-offs, etc. where stability could be jeopardized Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to be under, or to reach through the booms while operating the aerial platform
The potential for an accident increases when operating an aerial platform that is damaged or malfunctioning. Death or serious injury could result from such accidents. Do not operate the aerial platform if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Do not operate the aerial platform if it is damaged or not functioning properly. Qualified maintenance personnel must correct the problem before putting the aerial platform back into service.
AWarning
Operation
Use three points of support when entering or exiting the platform. For example, use two hands and one foot when climbing into the platform. Never cover the platform floor grating or otherwise obstruct your view below. Make sure the area below the platform is free of personnel before lowering. Keep both feet positioned firmly on the platform floor. Operate the controls slowly and deliberately to avoid jerky and erratic operation. Always stop the controls in neutral before going in the opposite direction. Do not dismount while the aerial platform is in motion or jump off the platform.
AB46JE 0260072
Chapter 3 Safety
Properly stow the aerial platform and secure it against unauthorized operation at the end of each work day, before transporting, or if it is left unattended.
Do not use the aerial platform as a crane, hoist, jack, or for any purpose other than to position personnel, tools, and materials. Do not climb on the guardrails or use ladders, planks, or other devices to extend or increase the work position from the platform. Take care to prevent rope, electrical cords, and hoses, etc., from becoming caught in or on the aerial platform. If the platform or booms becomes caught on an adjacent structure or other obstacle and is prevented from normal motion, reverse the control to free the platform. If control reversal does not free the platform, evacuate the platform before attempting to free it.
Tip-Over and Falling Hazards
Operate the aerial platform only on a firm, flat, level surface capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operating conditions. Refer to the General Specifications chart for the maximum wheel load and ground pressure. Raise the booms only when the aerial platform is on level ground.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard. All platform occupants must wear a fall restraint device connected to a lanyard anchor point. It is best not to transfer from the platform to another structure or from the structure to the platform, unless that is the safest way to do the job. Judge each situation separately taking the work environment into account. If it is necessary to transfer from the platform to another structure the following guidelines apply: 1. Where possible, place the platform over a roof or walking structure to do the transfer. 2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure to the other before stepping across. 3. Remember that you might be transferring to a structure where personal fall arrest is required. 4. Use the platform entrance, do not climb over or through the guardrails. Do not operate the aerial platform in windy or gusty conditions. Do not add anything to the aerial platform that will increase the wind loading such as billboards, banners, flags, etc. Never operate the aerial platform without all parts of the guardrail system in place and the gate closed. Make sure that all protective guards, cowlings, and doors are securely fastened. Do not exceed the platform capacity as indicated on the platform rating placard on the platform. Do not carry loads that extend beyond the platform guardrails without prior written consent from Snorkel. Do not operate the aerial platform from trucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the application is approved in writing by Snorkel.
ADanger
Electrical System
Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area free of flame, sparks, or other hazards that might cause fire or explosion. Do not attempt to operate any of the aerial platform functions while the battery charger is plugged in.
Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can combine explosively. Death or serious injury could result from a chemical explosion. Do not smoke or permit open flames or sparks when checking the batteries. Battery acid can damage the skin and eyes. Serious infection or reaction could result if medical treatment is not given immediately. Wear face and eye protection when working near the batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid that could damage your eyes or skin on contact. Wear a face shield, rubber gloves, and protective clothing when working around batteries. If acid contacts your eyes, ush immediately with clear water and get medical attention. If acid contacts your skin, wash off immediately with clear water.
AWarning
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system contains hoses with hydraulic fluid under pressure.
AB46JE 0260072

The battery trays, located on each side of the chassis, contains eight, 360 amp, 6 volt batteries to operate the aerial platform drive and control systems. To access the batteries, release the latch on each side of the tray and remove the cover. For optimal battery performance the battery fluid level must be maintained and the battery connections must be kept clean.
Charging
The aerial platform is equipped with a 40 amp automatic battery charger that will completely recharge the batteries and turn off after the charge cycle is completed. The battery charger is located at the rear of the chassis.
General Maintenance
Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can combine explosively. Death or serious injury can result from a chemical explosion. Charge the batteries only in a well ventilated area away from sparks or flame. It may take from 1 to 16 hours to recharge the batteries depending on the amount of discharge. If the charging cycle exceeds 16 hours without the batteries being fully recharged, unplug the charger and have the batteries checked. Fully recharge the batteries, immediately after use. One charging cycle per day is preferred. Fully charged batteries perform best. The deeper the discharge, the fewer number of cycles a battery will deliver. Deep discharges deteriorate the battery quicker than light shallow cycles. An overly discharged battery may need to be cycled a few times before it can fully recover. If a battery begins to heat before becoming fully charged, it may be necessary to recharge and discharge the battery a few times.
AWarning
Always keep the batteries clean, free of dirt and corrosion. A film on top of the battery can accelerate discharge.
Battery acid can damage the skin and eyes. Serious infection or reaction could result if medical treatment is not given immediately. Wear face and eye protection when working near the batteries. If necessary, clean the batteries, terminals, and cable ends (refer to Figure 6.1) with a wire brush or terminal cleaning tool.
AWarning
Terminals Caps
Use the following procedure to charge the batteries. 1. At the lower controls, turn the start switch to the off position.
Figure 6.1 Battery Tray Use distilled water to refill the batteries. Avoid water containing metallic solids such as iron which can reduce the life of the batteries. Consult a battery charger specialist if extreme temperature use is unavoidable. Cold reduces battery capacity and retards charging. Heat increases water usage and can result in overcharging. Very high temperatures can cause thermal run away which may lead to an explosion or re.
2. Release the latch on each side of the battery trays and remove the cover to access the batteries. Remove the caps from each battery (refer to Figure 6.1). 3. Visually check the battery fluid level making sure the level is within (6 mm) of the bottom of the filler neck inside each hole. If needed, add distilled water. 4. Tightly replace the caps on each battery and replace and latch the battery tray covers. 5. Plug the battery charger into a properly grounded outlet (115 volt AC, 60 Hz) using a 3 conductor, 12 gauge (1.5 mm) or larger extension cord. The extension cord must be as short as possible and in good electrical condition.

Chapter 9 Operation
The aerial platform may be operated from either the lower or upper controls. Cold, thick hydraulic oil does not flow well and may cause delay in response to control movement. Cold hydraulic oil may also cause cavitation and pump damage. Manually Warming the Hydraulic System The hydraulic oil may be warmed by bottoming out the boom extension cylinder. Raise the main boom so it is horizontal and operate the boom retract function while the machine is stowed. With the cylinder bottomed out the oil flow will produce heat to warm the hydraulic oil.
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by ANSI. Pinch points may exist between moving components. Death or serious injury will result from becoming trapped between components, buildings, structures, or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the machine before moving the chassis, booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement to avoid contact with structures or other hazards. The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Operate the aerial platform on a firm, flat, level surface. Avoid travel speeds and/or rough terrain that could cause sudden changes in platform position. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard. The platform rated work load is the total weight of the personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform. The work loads are stated on the platform rating placard at the: rear of the platform lower controls upper controls
ADanger
Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and may increase component wear. Only use hydraulic fluid as recommended. Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the machine General Specifications in temperatures of 10F (-12C) or below.
ACaution
Preparing for Operation
Before operating the aerial platform, make certain the batteries are charged and the charger is unplugged. Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform for operation. 1. Perform a prestart inspection as described in Chapter 8. 2. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position. 3. Close and latch the battery trays and cowling covers.
Lower Controls
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard. Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and do not indicate aerial platform stability. The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the aerial platform is properly set up for the particular conditions encountered.
ADanger
The lower controls override the upper controls. This means that the lower controls can always be used to operate the platform regardless of the position of the upper control emergency stop button. Boom, turntable, and platform functions may be operated from the lower controls. The lower controls may be used for initial set up of the aerial platform, and for testing and inspection. Use the following procedure to operate boom, turntable, or platform functions using the lower controls. 1. Place the emergency stop switch in the on position and place the controls switch in the ground position (refer to Figure 9.1).
Cold Weather Start-Up
If the ambient temperature is 32F (0C) or below, the hydraulic system oil may need to be warmed before operation.

If the drive fault light is not lit or ashing, repeat the steps 1 through 5 to ensure the controls are set up properly. After ensuring the controls are set up properly and the drive fault light is not lit or ashing, remove the aerial platform from service until qualied maintenance personnel can make repairs. Boom Operation Use the following procedure to operate the turntable, boom, or platform functions. 1. Step down on the platform foot switch (refer to Figure 9.3). The platform foot switch must be held down to operate the upper controls.
Upper Controls
The upper controls may be used for driving the aerial platform and positioning the booms and platform while on the job. Use the following procedure to operate machine functions using the upper controls. 1. At the lower controls, place the emergency stop button and start switch in the on position. Place the controls switch in the platform position. 2. Enter the platform and securely close the gate. 3. Attach the fall restraint lanyard to one of the anchor points. 4.

40 AB46JE 0260072
Chapter 9 Operation Always look in the direction of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on the chassis. Use the following procedure to operate the drive and steer functions. 1. Determine the desired drive range for the specific driving conditions. Place the switch in the appropriate position to achieve the desired drive wheel operation. Use high range (rabbit) when traveling across rm, at, level surfaces. High range can only be activated when the booms are stowed. High range is for high speed, low torque operation. Use low range (turtle) for driving on loading ramps or other steep grades and when safety considerations demand slow deliberate machine movement. Low range is for low speed, high torque operation. 2. Step down on the platform foot switch. 3. Push the drive joystick forward to move the chassis forward, the direction of the blue arrow. Pull the joystick backward to move the chassis backward, the direction of the yellow arrow. The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position. 4. To stop drive motion, return the joystick to neutral. 5. The steer switch is a momentary contact, rocker switch on top of the drive joystick. The switch controls the two front wheels to steer the aerial platform. To steer to the right, hold down the right side of the steer switch. To steer to the left, hold down the left side of the steer switch. Note The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn. 6. After driving to the desired location, release the foot switch, or return the drive joystick to neutral to apply the parking brakes. Drive Speeds The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position. The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the travel speed. Always slow down and shift the drive system to low range before traveling over any sloped surface. Drive speed ranges are interlocked through limit switches that sense the main and riser boom position.
Driving and Steering
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the machine on grades that exceed 25 percent. For operation on grades up to 25 percent, it is recommended that the main boom be near horizontal and the jib be elevated just enough to provide adequate ground clearance. A 25 percent grade is a 30 (0.76 m) vertical rise in 10 (3.05 m) horizontal length. Avoid driving with the platform over the front end of the chassis. In this position the machine is difficult to control because: drive and steer control movements and their resulting machine movements are reversed. when driving fast, sudden turns or stops produce more severe reactions to platform occupants. more turning space is required to prevent the platform from colliding with obstacles several feet beyond the path of the tires.
ADanger
Death or serious injury could result from improperly driving or steering the aerial platform. Read and understand the information in this manual and on the placards and decals on the machine before operating the aerial platform on the job. The blue and yellow arrows on the chassis indicate the direction the chassis will move when the drive or steer control is moved toward the corresponding color. When the machine is in the stowed position, with the booms centered between the rear wheels, the direction of drive and steer control movement corresponds with the direction of chassis movement. When the turntable is rotated from the stowed position, with the booms to either side of or in front of the chassis, the direction of control movement does not correspond with the direction of chassis movement. To avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or move between work areas with the turntable and booms in the stowed position. After arriving at the work area, the booms may be positioned to the side or the front of the chassis for nal positioning.

Chapter 9 Operation When either boom is elevated or extended, only the slowest drive speed will work regardless of the drive range switch position. To avoid a sudden speed change from high to low boom speed, always bring the machine to a stop before raising the booms from the stowed position. same at each drive wheel or the slope conditions may not be optimal, which would then allow for loss of traction. The value for actual gradeability will always be lower than the theoretical gradeability value. The perception then is that the machine can not climb a slope as steep as it should. Percent vs. Degree of Slope Gradeability is most often referenced as a percentage. That value is based on a slope angle of 45 representing 100% grade. Angle indicators, or inclinometers, often measure the angle of the slope in degrees not the percent slope. Because of that, it may be useful to understand the relationship between percent slope and the degree of the slope angle as shown in Figure 9.4. Driving on a Slope The machine should only be driven on a slope or loading ramp in the stowed position with the platform on the downhill side.
The potential for an accident increases when safety devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury could result from such accidents. Do not alter, disable, or override any safety device. Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 0.8 miles per hour (50 feet in 42.5 seconds) when any of the booms are out of the stowed position.
AWarning
All Motion Alarm
The optional all motion alarm sounds loud intermittent beeps anytime the machine functions are being operated.
Gradeability
Gradeability refers to the maximum slope that the aerial platform is capable of travel. Gradeability can be described as theoretical or actual with the slope, or grade, measured in percent of slope or degree of slope. Theoretical Gradeability Theoretical machine gradeability refers to the maximum slope that the machine is capable of travel under perfect, or theoretical, conditions. It is based on mathematical calculation, not practical application. Some of the factors taken into consideration when calculating theoretical gradeability include: Drive motor efciency Machine weight Machine center of gravity Tire traction Tire contact Condition of slope
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive on slopes that exceed 25 percent grade, or where conditions of the slope could cause driving to be hazardous. Place the drive range switch in the low position before attempting to drive the machine on a slope. Drive the aerial platform only on slopes, or loading ramps that are within the 25 percent grade capability of the aerial platform. Calculate the percent grade: before attempting to climb an unknown grade. if it is believed that there is a malfunction to determine if the slope is within the actual grade capability of the aerial platform. Calculating Percent Grade The percent grade equals the height (rise) of the slope divided by the length (run) times 100. Refer to Figure 9.5.
ADanger
The value for theoretical gradeability will most always be high when compared to the actual gradeability value. The perception then is that the machine can climb a steeper slope than is actually practical. Actual Gradeability Actual machine gradeability refers to the maximum slope that the machine is capable of travel under practical conditions. It, too, is based on mathematical calculation, but it also takes into account the practical application. At any given moment when driving the machine on a slope, at least one, if not all, of the factors contributing to achieving theoretical gradeabilty will not be at optimal performance. For example, tire contact may not be the
